V6-WILD

[Style — 118 BPM, G minor, psychedelic sample-driven electronic hip-hop, gospel warmth, IDM detail] [Groove — full beat immediately: locked galloping kick/tom ostinato, dry snare, syncopated hand percussion] [Textures — chopped vintage female sample "Wasn't it good?" behind the lead; separate warm talkbox answers; fuzzy synth-bass over clean mono sub] [Vocal — male melodic rap, rounded chest, nasal upper register, Auto-Tune snaps and slides, slow vibrato on held endings] [Verse 1 — full groove immediately; male lead close and dry; sample loop underneath, not sung by lead] You came for the rest of your things I put on the watch you bought Had a whole speech in my head You only asked where to park Big talk, front door, couldn't get a word out You said, "I'm good"—what's that supposed to mean now? Let the phone ring just to feel like I had options Now I pick up numbers I don't know when they callin' [Pre-Chorus — rising melody; same percussion; talkbox answers after each couplet] I talk so big Till somebody asks about you I talk so big Look what it all amounts to [Chorus — open melodic lead; stretch “bad” and “gone”; drums stay locked] Color me bad, bad Tell 'em I did you wrong I can live with that, that Just don't say you're glad I'm gone Color me bad, bad Tell 'em I did you wrong I can live with that, that Just don't say you're glad I'm gone [Post-Chorus — lead rests; vintage female sample only; bass and drums continue] (Wasn't it good?) (Wasn't it good?) (Wasn't it—) (Wasn't it good?) [Verse 2 — lower register; clipped phrases opening into melody; thinner layers] Paid for the room, paid for the view Made sure the whole damn floor knew Waiter said, "Two?" I said, "Yeah" Couldn't say, "One," so I ordered for you All that applause, I was eating it up You tried to talk, I was turning it up You got quiet, I called it peace Now every quiet room sounds like you leaving me [Pre-Chorus — more urgent; widening harmonies; talkbox between lines] I talk so big Till somebody asks about you I talk so big Look what it all amounts to [Chorus — heavy bass; talkbox answers between lead phrases] Color me bad, bad Tell 'em I did you wrong I can live with that, that Just don't say you're glad I'm gone Color me bad, bad Tell 'em I did you wrong I can live with that, that Just don't say you're glad I'm gone [Bridge — close dry lead; drums and filtered sample keep moving] You sounded good I hated that You sounded good I take it back [Final Chorus — fullest synth harmony; sample threads the gaps; do not bury the lead] Color me bad, bad Tell 'em I did you wrong I can live with that, that Just don't say you're glad I'm gone Color me bad, bad Tell 'em I did you wrong I can live with that, that Just don't say you're glad I'm gone [Outro — lead over continuing groove; sample fades; no new drop] You sound good I'm working on meaning that [End]
